INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GROWTH 2017 | 2 READER’S GUIDE

About the multi-year program for infrastructure development This brochure presents the multi-year program for the development of Israel’s infrastructures for the years 2017-2021. The program includes a list of infrastructure projects valued at 100 million shekels and more and whose construction shall begin in the years 2017-2021. The projects presented are physical projects in progress, budgeted or approved by government ministries and support units. Projects presented in this program are those approved by a government decision or by an agreement of the bodies authorized to approve them. In addition, there are several projects that have not yet been approved, but have been examined financially, and there is a high probability that they will be implemented in the next 5 years. This plan allows for the first time to present in a transparent and concentrated manner all the significant investments in infrastructure issues in the country, the manner in which they are funded and their implementation, and the timetables for their implementation. The program also provides information, clarity and execution horizons that will encourage the entry of private investments from Israel and around the world, so that competition will increase, the quality of services will improve and their prices will decrease. In addition, the concentration of the projects is the first step to a governmental examination of the projects from a broad and strategic perspective, in order to coordinate and improve the planning and implementation of infrastructures in Israel. The proposed plan is the result of the work of many government entities: government ministries, government departments and government companies that appear in the program, the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Finance and the government company “Inbal”.

IN THE TITLE: 1. The name of the government office: the office under whose responsibility or under whose regulation the projects listed in the table will be executed. 2. The stage of the process in which the projects in the table are at. There are four stages to a process: A. Initiation - From the moment of initially thinking about the project until the date of publication of the tender for its planning and construction. The stage may include: initial thinking, economic feasibility study, initial planning, statutory planning, examining suitability to the PPP process (cooperation between the public and private sectors), planning and formulating the project's contents, RFI processes, formulation of a government decision on the matter, reaching the decision to go ahead with the project, promotion of project availability and preliminary work in the field. B. Tender - From the publication of the tender or early selection up to the selection of a tender winner. C. Detailed planning and/or financial completion - Detailed planning of the project, or in the case that it is determined to execute a project as a PPP - detailed planning, preliminary works and financial completion up to the start of construction. D. Construction - Projects whose construction has begun on site, or those that are ready to be started.

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GROWTH 2017 | 4 IN THE TABLE: 3. The specific infrastructure field. 4. The name of the project. 5. Project description. 6. The geographic location of the project. This location may be national (in the case of infrastructures passing through/located across the country), regional (in the case of infrastructures passing through/located in several local authorities but within one region) or local - in a settlement or in the vicinity of one. A regional location is determined in accordance with the Ministry of the Interior’s regional borders. 7. Expected date for publication of the tender: Stated in quarters. Ministries that cannot yet determine a date at this stage will state that the date is yet to be determined. 8. Expected date for start of construction: Stated in quarters. Ministries that cannot yet determine a date at this stage will state that the date is yet to be determined. 9. Expected construction duration: Estimation of the expected number of years required for construction. 10. Construction cost estimate: Estimated project cost in NIS millions. The estimated cost of the construction does not include the future operation and maintenance costs of the project after it becomes operational. It is important to emphasize that this is an evaluation for this time only, and over time (with the progress in planning and formulation of the projects) there may be updates. If the estimate cannot be determined, it should be noted that it has not yet been determined. In addition, for some of the projects, no estimate is given since this is a project before / during the publication of a tender. 11. Is it suitable as a PPP? It is possible to examine the suitability of each project with regards to its funding and performance method. Possible values are: A. Yes B. No C. Unknown D. Under examination E. N/R 12. Expected implementation method. Possible values are: A. Contractor tender - execution (and detailed designs, as needed) by a private contractor. B. PPP - detailed designs, execution and operation by a private franchisee. C. Self-execution - execution by the employees of the managing company. D. Combined self and contractor execution - part of the project is executed by employees of the managing company and part by a private contractor through a tender. E. Private execution - execution by a private company (government regulation only). F. Not yet determined.

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GROWTH 2017 | 5 13. Ownership method. Possible values are: A. Public - the state owns the land and the project. B. Franchise - the private sector owns the land and is permitted to receive payments from the public or the state. At the end of the term of the franchise, the land and the project return to government ownership. C. Private - the private sector owns the project. D. Not yet determined. 14. Funding method. Possible values are: A. Public - all construction costs are funded by the state. B. Private - the state does not fund construction costs. C. Combined - construction costs funded by the private and public sectors. For example: the state awards a construction grant and the rest of the funding comes from the private sector. D. Tariff - construction costs funded by supply rate payments (in the short term, funding is received from various sources, such as: issuing bonds, loans, grants, equity, etc.). E. Not yet determined. F. Other.

Upon completion of the tenders, the relevant projects will be attached to the "Infrastructure for Growth" program.

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GROWTH 2017 MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT AND ROAD SAFETY | 35 CONCLUDING REMARKS - GOVERNANCE AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS DIVISION AND THE ECONOMICS AND INFRASTRUCTURES DIVISION OF THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE

“Infrastructure for Growth” - the multi-year infrastructure development plan was formulated in cooperation with the government ministries presented in the plan, the Accountant General Division and the Budget Division of the Ministry of Finance and the Government Company “Inbal”. This is the first time a multi-year infrastructure development plan has been formulated. This program joins a series of publications, including a work plan book, a government decision execution report, and a book on reducing the regulatory burden, which contribute to the government’s vision and serve as a basis for improving the efficiency of the civil service. In the coming years, we intend to establish and improve the manner in which the plan is formulated and to expand its scope by joining the Ministry of Defense (under information security restrictions) and the social government ministries. The concentration of the projects in this plan is a critical step in the process of formulating an informed and well-founded government approach to infrastructure. This infrastructure is essential for all government entities to establish a uniform and high standard in planning and infrastructure implementation, in examining government priorities, adapting the funding and implementation method for each new infrastructure project, and in formulating mechanisms for monitoring compliance with project budgets and timetables for implementation. The multi-year plan for infrastructure development constitutes a basis for significant and necessary improvement in infrastructure, thereby contributing to increased productivity and growth of the Israeli economy.
